The Egg Vegetarian Cafe in Liverpool

Trendy and nostalgic but not good enough. I think it’s pricey for the quality of the food, I had overcooked few pasta with some leaves, nothing fresh to pair, had to reclaim the salad, very expensive kombucha. Doesn’t worth the effort to go up the stairs. Wouldn’t come back

The friendliest staff ever!!! Really well priced and a lovely space with plenty of light. Latte was so smooth and tasty

My partner & I both love this little cafe. it's always our go-to spot whenever we're in town Service is lovely and always friendly. Food always hits the spot. Best veggie/vegan menu around Highly recommend to ANYONE, Especially anyone who is plant-based, veggie or vegan aswell GF

Soup of the day (sweet potato and cauliflower) was excellent. A small business with good morals.

Very sentimental place for me! Food is a bit bland for my liking but I'm going to come back for the atmosphere anyway!

Brilliant veggie food, hearty portions, good vibes and lovely people

Popped in early afternoon and had a vegan Sunday roast. Hoping they add stuffing soon....everything else was delicious. Took one of their delicious cakes home

The famous egg vegan cafe, lovely place with nice food and a great atmosphere

I enjoyed a wonderful vegan burrito meal. It was delicious. This place is rare in the city, quite a boho, friendly environment. Lovely staff ,great menu options, and reasonably priced healthy food. The only issue is that it is inaccessible for those with mobility impairments as its up two or three flights of stairs .

Wonderful restaurant, large selection of vegan dishes, very nicely decorated, the food was very tasty and the employees were very friendly. We would definitely come again.

lovely & friendly staff, efficient service despite the place being busy. good gluten free & vegan options!

2nd visit and that chilli is the best I've ever had. Had it with nachos and cheeze. So filling. A real comfort food. 💚 I had a delicious vegan chili topped with cheeze, with half rice and half cheezy nachos. Lovely airy, relaxing environment with long tables. Just off Bold Street in a grade II listed Victorian warehouse building. The menu might look basic but the food looks better than you think it will. Will be going back. 💚

Doorstep cheese on toast and salad or delicious bean burger. Don't mind if I do!

Love this shabby building, but it could do with a bit of restoration. Access is only by stairs, not for anyone with mobility problems

Odd find, but worth a visit. It overlooks Central Station as a bonus for the elderly.

Such a lovely place to eat, the atmosphere is lovely, the staff are great and really attentive. The food is always delicious, been here a few times recently as it was my mums favourite cafe when she was young, she says it hasn't changed a bit and is still as great as it was back then ❤️

Super chill, great food. The coffee is alright but not going there for just the coffee.

Excellent brunch, vegan option, very nice view and cozy atmosphere! A place not to be missed under any circumstances! 💎

Really enjoyed home made chilli tonight! Really excellent food, good price. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere!

perfect place for vegan lunch with friendly service and cool view

super atmosphere and interior, great food and veeery friendly staff😊

Vegan chocolate cake vegan carrot cake and a chai latte 💥 top notch as per usual.

Amazing place, delicious food. Really low prices for what is offered. Very welcoming and cozy atmosphere, I can't wait to be back here again!

This place hasn't changed a bit! Still deicious food, big portions, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Very recently had a brunch for a big group and it was great, BYO and the perfect atmosphere for catching up. Thanks so much

Not going to max star a mediocre menu but give the benefit for the staff that went above and beyond to comply with dietary preferences and allergens.

We wanted to like this place but the service was outrageously slow, like 45 minutes for an omelette that you order at a very slow till. The ingredients were also very sad, raw iceberg lettuce as “salad” and not particularly generous portions for the price. The tahini cookie was good tbf. Wouldn’t return.

One of my favorite places in Liverpool ! ✨ Small cozy place, welcoming staff. Good options for everyone. We loved the chocolat vegan milkshake!! And the beans omg 🤤

My large veggie breakfast had different sausages from my friend, hers were OK, mine were not. Very long wait for food, (40 minutes). Fantastic atmosphere.

The best vegan cheese toastie I've ever had!

Super friendly service on Thursday 30th May So grateful for vegan choices 🤩👏

Great food but just a shame that it takes so long to come out to you - I suppose that's because it's so popular there though :-)

Super cute cafe and the food…chef’s kiss!!!!

Delicious home cooked food, great vegan options especially cheesy garlic bread, carrot salad and banana bread with custard all are really tasty!

Amazing veggie selection, amazing food, lovely staff and service, great vibe!

Great atmosphere, the staff is really nice and chill, amazing tasting food 👌 It feels like a proper break and treat from busy Liverpool streets. I recommend greatly!

Excellent atmosphere, delicious food and very friendly!!!

Nice place nice cruelty free food

Amazing service, environment, great place, but don't recommend having lunch or dinner here, even though the portions were big, the food is expensive for the taste. Would highly recommend this place for a coffee and biscuit. Wifi doesn't work.

Fantastic place to have vegetarian or vegan food before popping off to a gig at the university.

Been coming here for years, can't be faulted

Very nice! I like the idea of bring of your own wine.

Liverpool is always a great place to visit. I thought I would try The Egg after reading an article on a newspaper website. I ordered a vegan cooked breakfast and was not disappointed. It was probably the best vegan breakfast I have ever eaten. The scrambled tofu was absolutely delicious. It was just a fantastic breakfast. I liked the decor and enjoyed the music that was playing. I would highly recommend eating here and I look forward to visiting again.

Environmentally friendly establishment with nourishing food.

Context: vegan of 5 years Have no idea why people rave about this place. Nicely decorated but the vegan roast was the blandest roast dinner I've had in my life! Big stodgy and no flavour in anything. The Nut roast tasted and texture like mashed potato. They also messed up my order, and my roast arrived 10-15 mins after my friends despite ordering at same time. I went to do a bit of work, and internet was inconsistent as well. Honestly, there are tons of far better vegan places in Liverpool, I wouldn't bother.

After Deliveroo goofed an order from The Egg, the staff very, very kindly gave me a replacement order on the house! Absolutely lovely food, wonderful decor and such a cool vibe too - would recommend to anyone, either veggie, vegan or omnivore!

One of my favourite places for breakfast. Cosy, friendly, and inexpensive. It's simple, proper, home made vegetarian and vegan food with no pretentions otherwise, and just such a lovely and welcoming place to be. I've been eating here for over 20 years and never been disappointed. It always feels like home. I love the Egg and it's been a part of my late teens and early adulthood into comfortable middle age.

A Liverpool institution. First visit in a while and still serving hearty veggie fare in a quirky arty space. Now licenced also. Recommended.

Brilliant vegetarian/ vegan cafe. They do dairy so milk and cheese but vegan options too. Bean burger and 3 types of salad 10.50 healthy, tasty, chef knows how to cook. Great atmosphere.

It's a beautiful café with good coffee and a friendly staff. I can't wait to go back there.

Excellent vegetarian restaurant.

One of the best little Sunday brunch locations I've been to in months. Unpretentious but absolutely delicious vegan food, pancakes were outstanding, vegan cooked breakfast was amazing. Friendly service, great atmosphere, rustic but still comfortable. Would absolutely come back here again:)

Great vegan cafe friendly staff 👌

Same hippy feel as ever, wide selection of V/Ve food, but not as good value as I remember. Great atmosphere.

Visiting from Glasgow a really great find. They cater for people with allergies and gluten issues they will modify ingredients for you and they have a large and varied menu feeindly staff and the place has a really nice feel to it. Will be going back while we are here. After another visit I really cannot recommend this cafe enough. They bent over backwards to accommodate my allergies. The staff were very friendly and happy and the portion sizes are excellent. Thank you very much for excellent service.

I looooved the Egg! Atmosphere was super nice and I enjoyed food very much! Thanks

Fabulous selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. A very welcoming cafe ,staff are lovely and the food is fantastic

Fantastic fresh, healthy & homecooked food. Cheesy garlic bread was so good I ordered it twice.

First time visit from this fussy Irish Vegan and so HAPPY I did. Ordered the full English Vegan fry up and it was plentiful and delicious and comes with a choice of tea, coffee or juice, I grabbed the coffee. The staff are so friendly and when I asked was the butter Vegan the chef came out and said yes and reassuringly told me that all vegan meals are 100% vegan, and such a good vibe in this cafe DEFINITELY check it out if in Liverpool.

A pure quirky and bohemian cafe, full of unique character. The scran was spot-on, and I ordered a wee toastie that left me gobsmacked—this place is sweeter than a honeyed dram compared to other cafes. Deffo gonna carve out time to visit here again.

Great breakfast with herby baked beans. NIce to be able to hear your friends on busy Sunday morning instead of shouting down the table. Started to fill up as soon as it opened but plenty of room and bright and airy. Rustic feel, which made enjoying a hearty breakfast on a beautiful Autum morning all the more welcomed!

This is a cool cafe where you can get vegetarian and vegan food. It has lovely decor with hanging plant vines and a friendly relaxed vibe. The food was tasty too. I'll be back.

This vegetarian cafe was in a wonderful setting and the breakfast was delicious. The staff were amazing.

Don't be thrown by the discreet door, head to the top of the staircase and through another door to find an incredibly quaint cafe. The atmosphere is lovely and the food selection is executed beautifully. Highly recommend this hidden gem

Great veggie food. Is in an old building and up 2 floors without a lift so unfortunately not very accessible for some

Food is delish. Service a little slow but customers doesn’t seem to mind.

Enjoyed garlic bread and hummus, very pleasant

Wow ! This goes beyond everything I could have experienced in my entire life ! This has been THE best English breakfast I have ever tasted This left me speechless so much it was extraordinary good !

Such a cute cafe and the food was excellent! Genuinely think I've had the best poached eggs ever at this place! Such a chill atmosphere and the staff were lovely and kind

Cozy cafe, friendly staff, best vegetarian and vegan food around. All nicely presented and delicious. Breakfast served late too! Been coming here for years and I'm not even veggie. Definitely recommend for some food while out shopping

Love this place, veggie cafe extraordinaire since the 1980s

Food was fantastic. Wholesome home cooked food at its best. Came back again next night it was so good

cozy place with friendly waiters, I ate the British breakfast, note 6.5/10

Lovely wholesome, home made food and the best cheese on toast money can buy. Large breakfast was exceptionally delicious.

Been here a while back and I think my review was deleted for some reason so I'm posting it again, their menu is very hard to understand, I ordered something that I thought was vegetarian but what arrived was obviously not. the staff were extrememly unfriendly and were not interested at all in talking to me or resolving the issuse.

I visited at lunchtime as I hadn't been able to eat at home. I was surprised by how much I felt that I had missed this venue when I walked in. Used to ordering from the counter I was taken aback to find myself directed to a table and informed that someone would take my order shortly. This gave the space a much different vibe which I find to be fitting for the space. A glass of water was brought to my table along with the menu and I was told someone will be back shortly to take my order. I was already feeling very welcome once again. I opted for three courses which is anything off the menu, the value of your main and add six pound to it. It makes for a very simple pricing structure. I had curried parsnip soup for starter, sausage and mushroom pie with lots of salad for main and banana cake for dessert. Each course was the perfect size and I was left requiring only a snack for my dinner that evening. The soup came with garlic bread and was perfectly spiced. The pie contained, mushroom, carrot, cauliflower and a tasty gravy. The banana cake was tasty as always. My one criticism is that the cakes have never changed in the many years that I have been eating there. Whilst the banana cake is very tasty, it is the only one they have which is vegan although there are lots of other great looking cakes that they sell. Let's talk about money. It cost me £15.50 for a three course meal including a drink. The costs vary depending upon what you order but if you are going for three courses like I do, expect to pay between £13.50 and £16.00 pound which will obviously increase depending on when you view this review.

Amazing vegan food, their soups are always amazing and so is their bean burger and salad option 😍

Very cute place, great vegan choices

The vegan roast is outstanding.

The people are really friendly and the vibes are great overall, but I would say if you like flavourful food (well seasoned food), this isn't the place for you. The food was just so bland it was actually hard to swallow at some point. The bean burger wasn't an actual burger it was a very dry patty and my partner and I couldn't even finish out food.

It’s a nice vegetarian restaurant with good vegan options. I enjoyed the seitan Sunday roast. Upstairs gets a bit hot so opt for downstairs on warm days.

I had heard sooo much about this place and so I am guessing it will be a really unpopular opinion but it’s not much to write home about. Very disappointed in my food and the bill (while not steep, the quality was still not worth it)

Lovely relaxed quirky vibe with yummy food at a decent price.

Nice chilled environment. Welcoming and inclusive. Friendly staff .Excellent food. I love the falafel and the vegan carrot cake is special.

5 stars from a meat eater who even enjoyed the sausage replacements. Great building and very relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely come again 😊😋

What a find! I came into Liverpool to meet some friends but needed food first. Had the vegan burger with was hearty and healthy. Staff were great too. Will bring the wife and wee bairn next time 😁

I've been to The Egg a couple of times now on visits to Liverpool and it's a real hidden gem. Food has always been excellent and very reasonably priced, staff are always friendly, and the café is just a really chilled out space to relax in.

One of my favourite spots for a vegan breakfast or dinner. Don’t let the entrance decoration or stairs to the third floor put you off, persistence is key to unlocking the relaxed understated atmosphere in a bright sunlight room, weather permitting

I found this place completely at random while visiting Liverpool for the Beatles Week. I had to double check outside since it looks like the entrance to a residential building. But at the top you emerge onto a cool, open restaurant. Everything is vegetarian, and vegan is easy. Staff was super friendly. Food was tasty. Recommended and I would definitely go again.

My favourite place. Food is amazing and the atmosphere is so chilled.

So many stairs to get in but atmosphere is unique. No much choices for food but it's prepared promptly. Cakes is delicious too.

Best vegan breakfast I've ever had. I.will definitely be going back there

Really nice cafe with a good atmosphere. The cafe is up stairs. We had the pancakes which were absolutely delicious and had some berries inside them. The vanilla milkshake is very smooth and it came with vegan cream. There is a counter where they keep jugs of water that you can go up and help yourself to when you want it. I thought the designs on the chairs were cool too. Also very budget friendly. The staff are really nice and they all have cool outfits. Will definitely come back.

I ordered a salad, which came as a selection. It was mainly cold pasta salad, and a large pile of chickpeas. There was no seasoning in anything and it was pretty bland. We ordered two types of bread, they brought one. Very disappointing.

Fabulous hidden gem of Liverpool city centre, just off Bold Street. The food is really lovely, with plenty of options for us vegans. The staff are super friendly, and there's always plenty of seating when I've been here. The decor and atmosphere is quirky, and it's so calming away from the busy streets below. The Egg Cafe is up about two flights of stairs and to my knowledge there is not a lift.

This place has been in my life for such a long time. It's been a favourite of mine for around 20 years now. So happy it's still going and still as beautiful as it was all those years ago. Thanks for being awesome 💚

The best scrambled egg on toast I’ve had! Super friendly staff, quality ingredients and cooked to perfection! Highly recommend

Best veggie place in town with lovely staff and beautiful decor

Its a lovely place, really nice atmosphere and food is amazing.

As always great food and atmosphere ... Plants do need watering and a bit of tlc though ...

Good range of vegan and vegetarian food. We were a group of 4 and everyone thought the food and service was great. Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Liverpool.
